Asteroid symbols

B. Hudgens Mar 20, 2002

Along the line of discussion on symbols, etc.

The asteroid "X" is now MUCH larger than it used to be. Several updates
ago it was the original smaller size.
How can you change the symbol back to the smaller size? On a 20 deg or so
field of view , all the large "X" symbols cover up most everything else. I
generally display minor planets at mag. 15 limit..

Also on the labels on the trails;.. the beginning date is in the same
place as the label, number, etc. This also has been a problem for sometime
and makes for difficult identification.

I also cast my vote for user selection of background color on info/help
screens. Black background makes some info difficult to read.

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks, Ben Hudgens
